So I cut some tennis balls....

[h8z2luze]

Well I got a bag of like 12 balls at walmart for 8 bucks not a bad deal right. i got a start a finish and 10 gates between. Well when i cut them open i find a nice road tar like substance that gets everywhere! How do you guys get this stuff out? Or do you?

Ouch - that's rough, even from Walmart. I get my tennis balls from the Dollar Store: 3 for a buck; no tar.

You can get tennis balls from walmart for 1.36 for a tube of 3. I get them for the dog. They are filled with air (like all tennis balls should be) not tar.

Didn't someone find glass shards in some Wal-Mart tennis balls awhile back?

Yeah, I was thinking someone had found a bit of glass in about three or four.

I got the same bag of balls and a couple had a tar like substance that looks like they use it as a seam glue. It doesn't get any where though, it's all dry.

Tennis balls?

Doesn't everyone have a ton of Panther rock dots?:mrgreen:

 

[h8z2luze]

Ya it looks like they used it to seam the balls or something. It is fine unless it gets warm and its 100+ degrees here outside so ya it gets all over the other balls and your hands...

8 BUCKS!!!! You got robbed!!!

I get my tennis balls from the flea market, usually for a quarter each. I cut them so I get four gates per ball.

 

[h8z2luze]

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

I go down to the tennis court and punk the rich kids for them. :mrgreen:
